Greetings from Thailand -"The Gangs all Here"

 It is a great thing when things work out as they are planned and we are thrilled that they have worked out this time.  Sometimes when you make flight arrangements from people coming from different directions you hold your breath to see how it all works out, but God is good and we are thankful.  All of the team that is representing Cornerstone here at the Northern Asia retreathas arrived safely.  Sonja, Pastor Gavin and Laurie, arrived after a long trip (with no video features which made it extra long) from New York and they are already up and running.  The Jet lag has not hit them yet and right now they are really excited about being here and are getting ready to bless the kids.  It is great to have them here and to see how the Lord can use us.  So far everyone is doing well although Sonja tried to start a fire in her room using a blow dryer(The electrical Converter did not convert to well)  But she is fine and the hotel is still here. 

It is great to already see some of the people who are connected to Cornerstone as a result of our missions outreach.  Some of the folks here you can see on the walls of the church and you pray over week after week. People like Steve and Linda Lilly who serve in the Northern part of China.  You have helped to run an orphanage there for many years.  People like Keith Kidwell who lives in Hong Kong and who loves the people of this great nation.  Their stories are awesome and the way that we are connected is also awesome as well.  Our God is not limited and neither are you through Him. 

The time difference between Maryland and Thailand is exactly 12 hours so it is now early Sunday Morning and it was neat to be able to join you at the Saturday night prayer rally at 7AM here.  What a wonderful joy it is to see that God in His grace and mercy can allow us to connect even across the thousands of miles that physically separate us. That is the beauty of the Lord and the power of His grace that there is no boundary and no limit to what He can and will do.  That is my prayer for you in the days to come and also my prayer for Cornerstone during this week that we are here in Thailand.  Somehow we hope to convey that you are also here with us.  Ministering to the Missionaries who in turn are touching thousand upon thousands of people here. You and I can only see through a very limited view, our vision is sometimes limited to what we see in our life instead of how God can use our life and multiply it's impact and purpose.  We will do our best to keep you informed on what is transpiring here but please know that are hearts are with you in Maryland Keep lifting up Jesus, Keep Growing in Him, Keep Touching our World.  All for His glory and honor.  Be Blessed Today with the Joy of Jesus and His amazing ways to use each one of us.

Together for Jesus
